To fans, teammates and the Seattle Mariners’ relentless marketing department that blitzed social media, including changing the Mariners’ Twitter handle to #SendSegura, in order to get fans to vote Segura into the MLB All-Star Game.

MLB announced Segura won the American League’s Final Vote tally to make his second All-Star appearance, and first with the Mariners. He outlasted some other big names, including the Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton, as well as the Red Sox’ Andrew Benintendi, Angels’ Andrelton Simmons and Twins’ Eddie Rosario.

Segura received 13.6 million votes, though MLB did not release the totals for the other players. The Brewers’ Jesus Aguilar won the National League Final vote with 20.2 million votes, the second most in the 18-year history of the Final Vote.

Segura will join three other Mariners at the All-Star Game. Designated hitter Nelson Cruz is headed there for the fifth time in the past six years and his sixth time overall, while outfielder Mitch Haniger and closer Edwin Diaz will make their first midsummer classic appearances.

“It was unbelievable. I can’t believe there’s that kind of people around the world supporting me,” Segura told reporters.

“Fans, the marketing department for the organization, the people in Seattle, my teammates — everybody trying to help get votes for me. It feels amazing,” he said. “It feels special. You come from another country and you see how the people support you around the world. It makes it even more special.”

All four players will come off the bench as reserves, barring injuries.

Mariners players offered signed bats, hats, gloves and cleats in their campaign to get Segura to Washington, D.C., for the July 17 All-Star Game. All of the team wore T-Shirts with Segura’s face on them and the Mariners had every seat on an Alaska Airlines flight to Los Angeles covered in the shirts among their other hijinks.

This is his first trip as a member of the American League All-Star team. He was a National League All-Star with the Brewers in 2013, when he hit .294 and stole 44 bases. He needs two more RBI to tie the season total he had for 2013 (49).

Wonder why they call him Jean, Jean the Hit Machine?

Segura entered Wednesday tied for third in the majors with 37 multi-hit games, which is the same as fellow All-Stars J.D. Martinez (Red Sox) and Nick Markakis (Braves).

Actually, Segura has more multi-hit games this season than games without a hit (22). He’s second in the major leagues in total hits (116) behind reigning American League MVP Jose Altuve of the Astros.

Segura had another hit in the Mariners’ loss on Tuesday, but he went 1-for-4 so his batting average dropped a point to .329. That’s the fourth-best in the majors behind Mookie Betts (.346), Altuve (.335) and J.D. Martinez (.331).

Segura is the third Mariners shortstop to make the All-Star Game, joining Craig Reynolds (1978) and Alex Rodriguez (1996-98, 2000).

“The outpouring of support by our fan base and what the group in marketing department did to create this SeguraFest, I can’t say enough about how good that it makes me feel,” Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters. “And certainly how our players feel, knowing their support is there for something like this. It’s awesome.”

Paxton’s schedule

Left-hander James Paxton will take Hernandez’s place in the rotation for a Thursday start against the Los Angeles Angels, Servais told reporters Wednesday afternoon.
